Total Yacht Works in Mazatlan has completed the work of repitching Pachuca's propeller. They reduced the propeller's diameter from 17" to 16.5" in order to remove a nick at the end of one of the blades, and set the pitch to 14.0".
Mark here in Port Townsend ran the numbers through his calculator and agrees with the 14.0" pitch, which represents a desired slight under pitching from the 14.6" theoretical ideal.
Ib has the propeller in the hold of Aeolus and he and Yadranka plan to set sail for La Paz this weekend.
This blog began in late 2006 with the planning and preparation for a circumnavigation of the world in my 39-foot sail boat Pachuca. It then covered a successful 5-year circumnavigation that ended in April 2013. The blog now covers life with Pachuca back home in Australia.
